2022 Front brake issues

[KevMav71]

I purchased a 2022 Maverick last May. I'm really satisfied with the truck except for one thing. When the truck sits for any amount of time, while backing up, as soon as I apply the brake pedal, the brakes ( front I think ) squeal quite loudly. I've been to the dealership twice and they seem to know about the problem, but they say if they inspect them they won't find anything wrong. Anybody else have this problem? Not sure what to do and I want to make sure it's fixed before warranty runs out. I hope someone can help.

Brake rotor rust likely. Mine has the same issue, let it sit overnight and it’s the worst grinding/jarring I’ve experienced in a newer vehicle. It sounds and feels like the wheels are locking up badly. Driving it and it’s ok within a few minutes.

I don’t have this issue with my other vehicles, those it’s simply a slight grind/metal rubbing sound that disappears within seconds. Then again the brakes are really sensitive from my experience on the Maverick compared to those.

It’s likely just cheap rotors from the factory, maybe resurfacing will help but who knows. Worth asking the dealer to take a look at them in my opinion.

My '87 Ranger was like this, first thing in the morning backing out the driveway, every day. Only squeal. Replaced those brakes at over 100k miles. Our current Miata does this too when it sits several days. After first brake use the squeal is gone. Just surface rust on the rotors from high humidity or other moisture.

This is a curse of disc brakes, and it will remain forever. Just sitting overnight, there is enough humidity in the air to put a fine coat of "rust" on the discs. The first time you brake, it will remove the coat. The other curse: drive thru water deep enough to get the discs wet, put on the brakes, and NOTHING HAPPENS. Scary.

It’s the whale call, common on Maverick, Bronco Sport and Escapes. I believe it’s Combination of crap pads and rotors.

When you finally replace your rotors, make sure that you select the higher-priced coated rotors from aftermarket suppliers. They don't rust up nearly as much.

Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.

It's common on many vehicles and is usually the cheap OEM brake pads/rotors. It's doubtful the dealer will do anything about it, either, nor will the Ford bot on here, that asked for your VIN.

I live in a humid climate and I've had two vehicles that did this. Replacing the pads & rotors with more expensive ones may get rid of the noise. I never found the mild annoyance worth the expense of upgrading them.
